First off, don't use the same pictures twice. Secondly, there's no theme, so it just looks like you picked random photos and smashed them on there.

Third, though most people don't do this (which is, imo, stupid), you should use a proper, designed footer.

Alright, thanks. Im gonna start all over. I agree, it needs a theme. This is just something I came up with at around 4 AM on a Friday night.

For your first version, I totally agree with HeartOfPandora. Plus the coloring made a lot of the images darker. And they were low in image quality. As for your second version, you should take off the white orb in-between "electric additions" because it's distracting. Also the footer is too much. I mean you have a bunch of lines going on in the header, so adding even more lines to the bottom isn't a good idea. And I dk, I feel like you should use a better and more exciting font for your navigation.

The picture I used had a lot of noise on it and it wasnt really good in quality.

Not trying to sound harsh, but if you already knew the image was unusable, why did you use it?

Header looks fine, imo. I pretty much second everything that Nat (manny the dino) said.

It wasn't "unusable", I mean, its fixable, its just frustrating me. And its alright, its not harsh.

Yeah, I was thinking the same about the lens-flare but I wasnt sure.
And everything else is quite true. Thankssss

^ Was about to point that out, lol. "ADICTION" should be "ADDICTION".

I'm not loving your font choice. I'd stick to one of those fonts for both the nav and header, or use a simpler font for the nav. That being said, neither of the fonts match very well with your image.

I love the colours in your header but nothing seems to... well, match. The fonts don't match, and the stark black w/white gradient and the bright pinks and neons don't match.

thats cool (:

It really has no theme too it. And the navigation placement is lousy, not to be rude.
I would suggest that you move the text altogether.
And the content area is (a bit) boring.
The layout just doesn't flow in general, imo.

Why not take the navigation from top right and place underneath the header. Also the name of the layout, Electric addiction should be placed top left with perhaps a white color instead of black? .. also the footer idea sounds great, that would if pictures dont work for your visitors they can always click on the text links in the footer. Finally that border underneath and above the header should be changed IMO. Perhaps make it a clean white line instead of that grey gradient.

make sure u update us once u will out the content area :)

good luck
